"You bring all of you with you all of the time" - this quote from one of my early professors has resonated with me over time as I see it's truth in my own life, and in the lives of my clients. Coming to truly know ourselves, and then taking affirmative action to make desired changes are core elements in reaching a healthy emotional state. We start this process by owning and working with all that is within us. We move from the stagnation found in complacency, denial, and shame to the dynamic challenges and rewards of self-discovery and commitment to personal growth.

As a Hispanic/Latina Mental Health Professional who is also a first-generation Mexican-American, I understand the importance of a person's need to get culturally informed emotional support. It is essential for me to understand where you come from and provide you with the best therapy care to achieve your goals because I believe it significantly improves symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, and more. Additionally, my work in mental health has brought me to various environments where I've seen the impact of not having specialized support while struggling with diverse emotional needs.

Do you feel lost, disconnected, or out of touch from yourself or the energy you once had? It’s been a rough year that has impacted people’s relationships, careers, and motivation. Are you feeling empowered or anxious as we move towards “normal” life?

Working with children and their families has always been the core of my practice. As a systems therapist, working with the family is as important as working with the child that presents for treatment. My primary focus is helping families in conflictual custody cases choose a more peaceful way of resolving problems in a more constructive and less adversarial way that minimizes the emotional pain for all family members, especially the children.

It is often difficult to ask for help in the face of life's challenges. People attend therapy for a variety of reasons such as; trauma, struggling with anxiety, depression or a life altering event. Ultimately, we want to feel better and live more-productive lives. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor which takes place in a warm, open and non-judgmental environment. My role is to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, what motivates their behaviors and how they can bring about change.
